how much silver lions do you get from a nuke in war thunder

A nuke in War Thunder usually gives about 15,000 to 30,000 Silver Lions for the atomic bomb reward itself, based on player reports and forum discussion. In some cases people report around 15k SL , while others say it is closer to 30k SL depending on mode and current economy tuning.

What that means

• The nuke drop reward is not huge by itself.
• Most of the real SL comes from the match you played to earn the nuke, not from the bomb reward.
• Players on the official forum have called the reward too low compared with the effort needed to earn it.

Practical takeaway

If you are asking whether dropping a nuke is a big SL farm, the answer is no — it is more of a prestige reward than a money printer.
